Are there any guidelines as to when to stop serving alcohol to a passenger?

I preference this by saying I do not drink so I have no idea of tolerance levels and quanities of consuming alcohol.....

I flew a flight this morning from MSP to SEA on NW. The passenger across the aisle from me in FC consumed 5 cans of Budweiser during the flight and 4 glasses of white wine during meal service.... he never acted intoxicated and was quiet the entire flight....I watched him de-plane and take the train to the main terminal and he never once appeared drunk or off-balance.... but isn't that a lot of alcohol to consume in a 3 hour flight and should the FA have been more attentive to the quanities served?
